[Verse 1]
You've been on and on again
And this time, I'm not listening
It's been minutes since we've spoken last
Already talking to my friends
You can't admit it that you lied, lied, how you lied
Yeah, I've been absent, but I've tried, tried, I have tried
But boys don't cry
[Verse 2]
You've been writing novels
I'm the inbox to your problems every weekday
We don't talk much in real life
We fake fight and that's all we do, do
But if it's over, then it's over
Doesn't have to be a TV drama
If it's over, then it's over
[Verse 3]
You've been off and on again
I've always been your therapist
And you can't say anymore, oh yeah
You've lost the right to be my friend
I know you're drinking every night, night, night, night
Yeah, I've been absent, but I've tried, tried, I have tried, oh
[Chorus]
But if it's over, then it's over
Doesn't have to be a teenage drama
If it's over, then it's over
If it's over, then it's over
Doesn't have to be a TV drama
If it's over, then it's over
But boys don't cry
No, boys don't
[Outro]
If it's over, then it's over
You don't have to go and make this harder
If it's over, then it's over
